King of Assassins-Chapter 862 - 623: Worries (Part 3)

The most messages were from Qin Fei. Gao Xuan opened the messages and read them. Turns out Qin Fei had already switched to the "Pure Yang Thunder Skill." Qin Fei also informed him that there would be an assembly at the Holy Hall tomorrow and insisted he must attend.

The other messages were mostly polite inquiries, all from people of the Golden Orchid Association expressing various concerns.

Gao Xuan replied to each one, and finally contacted Qin Fei.

Upon receiving Gao Xuan's message, Qin Fei ran over eagerly to see Gao Xuan.

"Wow, boss, your room is so big, I'm envious."

Qin Fei, feeling quite at home, wandered around Gao Xuan's room with an expression of amazement and envy.

She wasn't exaggerating; the treatment for low-level Paladins was decent, but it couldn't compare with her family's conditions. Her room was only fifty square meters, it seemed quite shabby compared to Gao Xuan's.

Qin Fei handed Gao Xuan a circular hard disk the size of a coin. "Boss, this is the 'Pure Yang Thunder Skill' that I got from home. You don't have to give me a Divine Crystal, just keep it for yourself."

"How can that be right?"

Gao Xuan took the hard disk and said, "Fair is fair, the stuff from your family isn't really yours. Our relationship is another matter entirely."

Of course, Gao Xuan couldn't just take this favor for free; their relationship hadn't reached that level.

Moreover, he didn't want to establish too deep a connection with the Qin Family.

Seeing Gao Xuan's resolute attitude, Qin Fei didn't insist any further. However, she couldn't help but admire Gao Xuan even more in her heart.

This boss, coming from a humble background, yet able to understand boundaries, especially this generous demeanor, is truly impressive.

Qin Fei suddenly smiled and said, "I heard some good news, tomorrow the assembly will formally reward the boss for your outstanding performance in the trial."

"Oh, is there such a good thing?"

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "If there's really a reward, I'll treat you to a meal."

Qin Fei said with certainty, "There's no mistake, I heard it's a substantial reward this time. The boss is going to be famous..."

Speaking of which, Qin Fei looked even more envious.

Receiving such a substantial reward from headquarters is very rare. Gao Xuan's face will certainly be well known after this.

With this momentum, Gao Xuan will have a promising future.

Qin Fei's family also thinks highly of Gao Xuan; despite his age, he is someone capable of great things.

"By the way, I heard about something else."

Qin Fei's eyes turned, her face showing indignation, "Someone at the Holy Hall is spreading rumors that the boss killed Cao Ye. People spreading such rumors are truly detestable!"

"Hmm?"

Gao Xuan showed a slight but perfectly timed expression of doubt.

Qin Fei hurriedly explained to Gao Xuan, "Cao Ye was one of our examiners, and somehow he disappeared. The Cao Family suspects that Cao Ye was murdered by someone inside. They've made a suspect list, and your name is on it..."

As Qin Fei spoke, she carefully observed Gao Xuan's expression, but couldn't discern anything unusual.

Gao Xuan asked with some curiosity, "Why do they suspect me?"

"Because of a woman named Yu Ning. She's Cao Ye's companion, also one of our examiners."

Qin Fei said, "They all say Yu Ning has a vendetta against you, and she came specifically to get revenge on you this time."

Gao Xuan nodded, "There's some truth to that. However, Cao Ye's death is unrelated to me."

"I certainly believe in the boss."

Though she said so, Qin Fei's expression was somewhat odd.

Truth be told, Gao Xuan had ample motive for the crime. Moreover, his capabilities were strong. It's possible he could have killed Cao Ye.

Because of all this, the Holy Hall checked repeatedly, and Gao Xuan naturally became the prime suspect.

Of course, it's merely suspicion. Generally, people still don't believe Gao Xuan could kill Cao Ye.

Just relying on Gao Xuan's Ninth-Grade Flying Sword, it's unlikely to break through Cao Ye's Holy Armor. Not to mention Cao Ye also had powerful Magical Artifacts.

Qin Fei reminded, "Boss, this is a serious matter. They might make you swear an oath before the Divine Emperor Statue..."

Swearing an oath is easy, but doing so before the Divine Emperor Statue is impossible to lie.

Because the core of every Paladin is the Divine Power Seed, once an untruth is spoken before the Divine Emperor Statue, an anomaly would immediately appear.

In severe cases, the Divine Power Rune Seed might even shatter on the spot!

Honestly, Qin Fei was quite worried about Gao Xuan... If Gao Xuan really did commit this act, he would be done for!
